BMI less than 30 at start of surgery



Recommended Posts

I'm really looking to chat with some people that really didn't have much weight to loose. I started out at 197 now I'm 178. I has the surgery because of health problems. High blood pressure, borderline diabetic, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, gerd, fatty liver, hernia, and a bad heart. My cardiologist suggested that I have the surgery. Im really trying to get off all the medications and look good at the same time. I had complications after the surgery which was done on the 8th of September. I just want to know if I'm the only one out here that really had no choice to have the surgery and also don't have that much weight yo lose.

I barely made the cut off at 36. I was under the impression that most surgeons (in the U.S.) wouldn't perform surgery under 35. I am thinking that you're likely part of a very small group of BMI'ers. Are you in the states?

wait you had surgery on 9/8 and you already lost 19 lbs!?!? I was 195 when I had my surgery 8/27 and I've only lost 17lbs.. Hmmm.. I didn't have any major health problem I was just fat.

The cut off is 30... I barely made it...but I'm glad I did. I check my blood pressure everyday...so far so good. My main focus is to get off all the meds and not loose to much weight looking sick instead of sexy.lol

I'm at a stall... I had a lot of fat to loose. I'm 5"2....I lost all that at the hospital. Since I've been home. I haven't lost anything

I'm in Texas.... I had a lot of health issues which my insurance company approved it but it took a while. I had to go through a lot to get it approved. I had been trying since last year

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
